Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

The neuron-glial synapse is the only one that exists between neurons and OPCs. This study marks the first time that these one-of-a-kind synapses have been investigated in a live tissue model ...

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

A new study reveals that neural stem cell grafts can generate new myelin in the central nervous system, offering hope for ...

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

Using a mouse model of a brain injury sometimes seen in neonates, where the baby has been deprived of oxygen during birth, the team found that CK2α-mediated Daam2 phosphorylation had a protective ...

What would you see if you cut through an electrical cord? Insulation around the outside and tiny metallic wires stuffed in the middle. The structure of the axons in the nervous system is very similar.
